    Commentary/Reviews

    “In this extraordinary book, Alan Hart has succeeded in elucidating for us the immediate and
    long term dangers involved in the unconditional Western support for Zionism and its
    oppressive policies against the Palestinians. The author provides us with a chilling exposure
    of how this embrace developed and continues to endanger the Jewish existence and fuels the
    anti-Semitism that refuses to disappear. Motivated by a genuine concern for peace in Israel
    and Palestine and beyond in the world at large, Alan Hart has written not only a strong
    indictment of Zionism, based on both research and personal experience, but also provided us
    with a charter for a better future.”
    ­ ILAN PAPPE
    Leading Israeli revisionist historican, author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine

    "I hope that all who are concerned about the troubles of the Middle East will read this book. It
    is immensely readable and a magnificent piece of work which reflects Alan Hart’s close
    relationship with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. We are in terrible trouble in the Middle East.
    The book explains how we got here and how we could move forward. The tragedy is hurting
    Palestinians, Israelis and the rest of the world. All who wish to engage in finding a way forward
    will be helped by reading this book."
    ­ CLARE SHORT, MP-UK and International Development Secretary in Tony Blair's
    government until her resignation over Iraq

    "Alan Hart's new books about Zionism and about the Israeli-Palestinian, Israeli-Arab, and now
    the Israeli-Muslim conflicts are, taken together, remarkably important and timely.    His unique
    experiences and personal relationships make it possible for him to connect, and maybe even
    more notably to correct, the historical dots in a uniquely comprehensive way.  Doing so as a
    seasoned journalist as well as a passionate advocate of true peace and real justice makes
    Hart's trilogy of books covering 1948 to the present nothing less than extraordinary.  Taken
    together they represent a  monumental accomplishment of epic proportions.  If only
    responsible government officials around the world, especially in Washington, would read and
    ponder these books, take profound note of Hart's conclusions, and even at this very late date
    act before it is completely too late.."
    - Mark Bruzonsky
    MiddleEast.org, founder
    World Jewish Congress, first Washington Representative

    Hart’s readable account of history, his obviously erudite analysis and his ability in bringing the
    factual conflict to life on the page ensures the reader's interest is unwavering throughout. His
    passion and empathy with both sides is apparent. For the Jews, the ‘unspeakable fear’ of
    another Holocaust due to Zionist manipulation and tyranny; and for the Arabs and Muslims,
    the anger and humiliation they are feeling every day that Palestine is being torn apart.
    ­ Samira Quraishy, researcher, Islamic Human Rights Commission

    "Alan Hart in his chillingly revealing and very readable account of the intrigues of the Zionist
    political development has made a tremendously valuable contribution ."
    ­ RABBI AHRON COHEN

    "These two volumes are a vital exposition of Zionist history and its interface with diplomacy
    and the Israel-Arab conflict, up until the assassination of President Kennedy.  Alan Hart
    promises another volume, perhaps two, and one looks forward to their publication.... an
    essential understanding of what happened in the struggle for Israel-Palestine and of the role
    of Zionism in this sad story."

    AUTHOR

    Alan Hart is a former BBC Panorama and ITN Middle East correspondent with a vast first-
    hand knowledge of the subject. He knew, and interviewed, many of the main players in the
    Israel-Palestine conflict on all sides (Golda Meir, Yasser Arafat and other PLO leaders, Moshe
    Dayan, Shimon Peres, Nasser, King Hussein of Jordan, George Habash, King Feisal - the list
    is long). He also participated at a leadership level in the secret politics of the search for peace
    in the Middle East (as an intermediary between Arafat and Peres when it was presumed
    Peres was headed for leadership) His first book Arafat, Terrorist or Peacemaker? was
    published by Sidgwick & Jackson in 1984 and subsequently in several updated editions over
    a decade. In the early 1970s, his independent production company produced the first ever
    documentary on true dimensions of global poverty and its implications for all. The film, Five
    Minutes To Midnight, had its world premiere at the opening of the 7th Special Session of the
    UN General Assembly (called to discuss the need for a New World Economic Order), and
    was shown on television in many Western countries, was versioned for schools and became
    a standard work of reference. For that effort Alan was credited with having played a leading
    role in getting the North-South issue on to the agenda for public debate.

    SYNOPSIS

    This is the second volume in the series, ZIONISM: The Real Enemy of the Jews, a
    monumental history of Zionism and the Israel-Palestine conflict by a seasoned reporter who
    interviewed and was in the good graces of the major players on all sides. Alan Hart has given
    an honest expression of the needs, motives and dilemmas faced by all parties.

    David Becomes Goliath reveals in well-documented detail starting from 1948 how the
    assertion that Israel has lived in constant danger of annihilation, of the “driving into the sea”
    of its Jews, is little more than Zionist propaganda. What really was the case, after Israel
    unilaterally declared itself to be in existence, was that the Arab armies did not have the
    ability—neither the numbers nor the weapons—to defeat Israel’s forces. Despite some
    stupid Arab rhetoric to the contrary—a propaganda gift for Zionism of which it has made
    extensive and ongoing use—the Arab regimes had no intention of even trying to destroy
    Israel. They were quickly at one with Zionism and the major powers in wanting the Palestine
    file to remain closed after Israel’s first victory on the battlefield. There was not supposed to
    have been a regeneration of Palestinian nationalism: for them, Arafat’s real crime was
    making this happen.

    Here, too, is the riveting story of how Zionism, assisted by deluded British Prime Minister
    Eden and America’s hawks, conned the Western world into believing that Eygpt’s President
    Nasser was an enemy of the West when actually he was seeking an accommodation with
    Israel from almost his first days in power, and wanted more than anything else a relationship
    with America on equal terms with that of Israel. Hart also takes us inside the struggle of the
    first and last American president, Eisenhower, to attempt to contain Zionism, and President
    Kennedy’s unsuccessful attempt to prevent the Zionist state acquiring an atom bomb (an
    acquisition still unadmitted by either the US or Israel, to this very day).

    But most importantly, Volume II records a turning point: the story of the defeat of reason in
    Israel, with Ben-Gurion’s replacement of Israel’s second Prime Minister, Moshe Sharett, who
    in October 12, 1955 expressed in his diary this prescient fear for the future in view of the
    ongoing Zionist expansionism of his time: “What is our vision on this earth—war to the end of
    generations and life by the sword?”
